It’s certainly one of the more expensive shows this year.
Assuming a family of 2 adults and 2 children, the gate price would be £60 and the advance price £47 (children 6-16 is £5 both advance and gate).
For what it’s worth, this is more than Biggin Hill, where the family ticket (which allows for 3 kids plus 2 adults) is £45 on the gate and £36 in advance, and which provides a longer flying display and ground attractions.
Not quite as expensive as Duxford’s shows though – http://duxford.iwm.org.uk/server/show/nav.00d004001
It’s always difficult to quantify whether something is “expensive” because what you’re prepared to pay is inevitably bound up with the old chesnut of “value for money”. I guess the old saying ‘you pays your money and you takes your choice’ applies.
I do wonder though if Kemble will see a lower crowd this year, as the prices are more expensive than previous years and the show will also be missing the Red Arrows (who are on tour in North America during June).
From an organisers’ perspective, Kemble always majors on classic jets and warbirds which are some of the most expensive airshow acts out there, so undoubtedly they need to set a market charge that will help them to cover their costs – the basic principle of pricing.
